CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 30, 2021
BRIBERY TAKES MANY FORMS IN WASHINGTON. SOMETIMES IT IS MONEY UNDER THE TABLE; SOMETIMES IT IS A JOB OFFERED TO BUY INFLUENCE. ASK YOURSELF HOW PEOPLE COME TO WASHINGTON WITH AVERAGE INCOMES AND LEAVE MILLIONAIRES.
PRESIDENT BIDEN PLANS TO NAME THE WIFE OF THE SENATE’S TOP SWING VOTE TO A PLUM POSITION THAT PAYS $163,000 A YEAR. SENATOR JOE MANCHIN IS A KEY VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS WHO MAY TRY TO ABOLISH, OR LIMIT THE FILIBUSTER IN ORDER TO RAM THROUGH THEIR ENTIRE SECULAR PROGRESSIVE AND COSTLY AGENDA. THE WASHINGTON TIMES REPORTS THAT MANCHIN’S WIFE, GAYLE CONNELLY MANCHIN, WILL BE NAMED TO THE APPALACHIAN REGIONAL COMMISSION, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROMOTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT IN 13 STATES. IF CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE, MRS. MANCHIN WILL REPLACE TIM THOMAS, A FORMER STAFFER FOR SENATE MINORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL.
GRANTED, MRS. MANCHIN HAS A LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF HER OWN APART FROM HER HUSBAND, BUT THIS APPOINTMENT SMELLS AND APPEARS TIMED TO WIN HER HUSBAND’S VOTE ON ISSUES DEAR TO THE LEFT. LET’S SEE HOW SENATOR MANCHIN VOTES AND THAT MAY TELL US ALL WE NEED TO KNOW. I’M CAL THOMAS.
